my personal take on this:
Situation 1. I mada a vid a year or more ago, i looked it up and there are now three for the same anime/song combo... all three are different, my old one still sucks, so no harm done.
Situation 2. FullMetal Alchemist and Greenday - Boulavard of Broken Dreams had been done about 11-12 times before I worked on a MEP for it. hahahahahahahaha... dont care... didnt seem anyone was doing it to my taste anyways. (why did we do it MEP?? cause we can)
Situation 3. I once came across a video that had the same song/anime combo... i took interest in it... cause when I uploaded mine there was no listing on a-m-v.org... so I went and downloaded and watched this vid as i was curious more than anything about it... it wasnt untill i realized that not only had they done the same song/anime combo BUT THEY STOLE FOOTAGE from MY video was I annoied. I later gave them permission to go ahead and use my footage cause they credited me in their comments... now... that to me strikes me as a bit of laziness... *ahem* /bitter
Situation 4. one of my old videos (Escaflowne/No Doubt) really sucked, and I wanted to REMAKE it... so I did... its a different video from the original, so therefore a different video, the old one sucks still, but the new one shows improvement.... either way, I am glad to have remade it (it is really a different vid as i chose different scenes the second time around, cause I actually had a thaught process aside from "hay this looks cool")
Situation 5. I have seen some people do "AMV competitions" between each other where they take the same source and music and make videos... it seems like an interesting concept, and I would like to try this one day..
overall who cares if its redundant, different vid is different vid... upload away... though your question has been answered many times over.
